Title: Improved device for conveying bottles and the like successively to cleansing, corking, labelling or other machines
IPC: B08B9/36
Filed: 1923-10-25
Abstract: 214,554. Ortmann & Herbst. April 18, 1923, [Convention date]. Bottles, washing. - A device for conveying bottles &c. to a number of treating machines comprises bottle holders 11, or groups 14 - - 17 of such bottle holders, disposed at equal angles about a frame 12 adapted to be rotated about its axis 13 in both directions alternately, the amplitudes of the movements corresponding to the distance between two succeeding groups of bottle holders. As applied to one bottle rinsing and two bottle cleansing machines, two bottles are placed by hand in the group 14 on the frame 12 which is rotated in a clockwise direction through an angle of 90‹, whereupon brackets 9 secured to a reciprocating frame 23 and supporting bottom brushes 8 thrust the bottles eccentrically to the inner brushes 3. This movement brings the group 17 opposite the operator who places two bottles on it, the bottles in the left-hand machine being cleaned in the meantime. The frame is then turned back to its original position when the bottles in the group 17 are transferred to the right-hand cleansing machine by a movement of the frame 23 which also transfers the cleansed bottles from the left-hand machine to the group 15. At the same time, a third pair of bottles is placed in the group 14. The frame repeats its clockwise motion carrying the cleansed bottles to the rinser 26 and the unwashed bottles to the lefthand machine, the movement of the frame 23 placing them on the machine and withdrawing the cleansed bottles from the right-hand machine. At the same time, another pair of bottles is placed in the group 17. The next anti-clockwise movement of the frame transfers the cleansed bottles from the right-hand machine to the rinser and the unwashed bottles to that machine, and brings an empty group to the operator, each succeeding movement performing the same operations. The machine may be used for the transference of objects other than bottles.

Title: Improvements in or relating to vulcanisation accelerators and process for their production
IPC: C08K5/29
Filed: 1936-10-02
Abstract: The vulcanization of rubber is accelerated by the addition to the mix of aliphatic aldehydealiphatic amine condensation products which are made by a process which comprises the condensation of one molecule of amine with two molecules of aldehyde and is characterized by the fact that the reaction is conducted with simultaneous cooling of the reactants, and that the reaction product is separated into its constituent components by fractionation.  The condensation which is preferably carried out with vigorous agitation of the reactants, may be conducted at either sub-or super-atmospheric pressure.  The most valuable and active fraction is that which has a b.p. of 120 DEG  C. and over. This fraction may be used as such or in the form of salts with weak acids such as stearic acid, palmitic acid, oleic acid and ricinoleic acid, made by the addition of the stoichiometric amount of acid.  In examples: (1) 2 molecules of monobutylamine are condensed with 4 molecules of butyraldehyde at 0 DEG  C. and the product fractionated.  The most valuable product distills at 120--180 DEG C.; (2) 2,5 molecules of monobutylamine are condensed with 5 molecules of propanol at - 20 DEG  C.
